CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

1 Samuel 30

David and his men return to Ziklag and find it burned by Amalekites, with their wives and children taken captive. The men weep until they have no more power to weep and even speak of stoning David, but David strengthens himself in the LORD and inquires through Abiathar before pursuing. With help from an abandoned Egyptian servant, David finds the raiders, defeats them, recovers every captive and possession, and establishes that those who guard the supplies share in the spoil.
